Basic Trend Analysis in Bear Markets

Basic trend analysis can point out high probability moments in each bear market that can signal a major reversal is underway. Emotions tend to be quite negative when this happens, which is why it’s crucial to identify these pivots and have a plan in place. Knox goes over the key pivots that would mark the end of the 2022 bear market.

Key Levels to Pay Attention to in a Bear Market

Despite the market’s uncertainty, Knox puts the market’s major thresholds at 3,900 and 4,120. Should it drop below 3,900, it could find a new low at 3,705 or 3,685. On the other hand, if it breaks through 4,120, it could signal a healthy CPI as well as market pricing in various factors – good and bad.

Quadruple Witching - September 16, 2022 - Large Trading Volume Predicted

Knox believes that this inflection point is right around the corner. Aside from the upcoming Fed meeting, there is also the Quadruple Witching on September 16, which is expected to lead to one of the biggest volumes day since quadruple witching only happens four times a year. This is when stock options and futures as well as stock index options and futures expire on the same day. The last time this event happened was at the June low in 2022.

Supporting Markets: Interest Rates, Oil and Energy

Finally, Knox reviews the various supporting markets: Bonds, Oil, and Energy. He notes that the market is in a strange situation right now in the sense that although the economy is officially in recession. Jobs, industrial production, as well as manufacturing and services, are still expanding, though, at a slower rate.

Knox offers several reasons for this. Low oil prices, for example, is reducing inflation, which in turn is helping equities. Further, he expects that the dollar may be weakening soon (a positive for equities), and there is also the possibility of good news coming from the Fed meeting. Supporting markets aside, though, Knox reminds investors to focus on the 3,900 and 4120 and to wait until the market completes a fifth wave.
